胶东三甲金矿床流体包裹体特征   总被引:14,自引:6,他引:8  
三甲金矿是胶东牟平-乳山金成矿带内重要的石英脉型金矿,金主要产于黄铁矿和多金属硫化物石英脉中。流体包裹体研究表明,三甲金矿蚀变岩石和各成矿阶段金矿石中的流体包裹体主要有三种类型:H2O-CO2包裹体、富CO2包裹体和H2O溶液包裹体。早期乳白色石英中主要赋存原生的H2O-CO2包裹体;成矿期黄铁矿石英脉和多金属硫化物石英脉中的富CO2包裹体主要为原生,随机分布,气液比变化较大,常与早期H2O溶液包裹体共生且均一温度接近,显示不混溶流体包裹体组合特征;在成矿晚期的石英和方解石中主要发育原生H2O溶液包裹体。显微测温结果显示,成矿前(第1阶段)H2O-CO2包裹体的完全均一温度(Tb.TOT,至液相)为280℃至416℃,成矿期(第Ⅱ和Ⅲ阶段)富CO2包裹体的完全均一温度为210—330℃,同期的H2O溶液包裹体均一温度为253~377℃,成矿后(第Ⅳ阶段)H2O溶液包裹体的均一温度为176—207℃。成矿流体为低盐度的CO2-H2O-NaCl型热液,成矿应力场转变导致的流体减压沸腾作用可能是三甲金矿金沉淀成矿的主要原因。  相似文献

云南大坪金矿床是产于闪长岩中的石英脉型金矿床,矿体形态呈脉状,明显受断裂构造控制。成矿阶段可分为:早期成矿阶段(白钨矿石英脉)、主成矿阶段(硫化物石英脉)和晚成矿阶段(碳酸盐石英脉)。石英脉中的流体包裹体分为H2O包裹体、CO2包裹体、CO2-H2O包裹体,以富含CO2-H2O包裹体为特征。CO2-H2O包裹体的完全均一温度为283.1~382.0℃,盐度为(4.44~11.33)wt%Na Cleqv,计算的均一压力为151.2~261.5MPa,相应的成矿深度为10.272~12.649km,显示出该矿的成矿流体是一种富含CO2的高压、中高温、中低盐度的H2O-Na Cl-CO2的流体。加热时,富H2O相的CO2-H2O包裹体完全均一到H2O相,富CO2相的CO2-H2O包裹体完全均一到CO2相,而且二者的完全均一温度和压力一致,说明流体发生了不混溶作用,CO2的溶离使成矿流体的p H值升高,氧逸度降低,从而导致Au溶解度降低,并造成金沉淀成矿。大坪金矿床属于深成中高温热液石英脉型金矿床。  相似文献

成矿流体来源与矿床成因的关系一直是矿床学研究的重点与难点。通过流体包裹体显微测温、原位激光拉曼光谱分析和包裹体化学成分分析,对浩尧尔忽洞金矿床成矿流体进行了较系统的研究。测试结果表明:该矿床石英中流体包裹体分为气液包裹体、气体包裹体、纯气体包裹体和纯液相包裹体四类。大部分流体包裹体均一为液相,少量气体包裹体均一为气相。伟晶岩脉石英流体包裹体均一温度峰值260~340℃,炭质板岩内含矿石英细脉内石英流体包裹体均一温度峰值260~380℃。石英流体包裹体气相成分为H2O、CO2、CH4、N2和C2H6,液相成分为Cl-、SO2-4、Na+、K+、Mg2+和Ca2+。炭质板岩中石英流体包裹体的氢氧同位素(δD H2O=-96.20‰~-82.80‰,δ18O H2O=3.97‰~7.93‰)靠近原生岩浆水。认为浩尧尔忽洞金矿床成矿与海西期岩浆活动有关,属中高温低压浅成热液矿床。  相似文献

白干湖矿田是由柯可卡尔德、白干湖、巴什尔希和阿瓦尔等钨锡矿床构成的一个超大型钨锡矿田,其中的巴什尔希矿床正处于勘查阶段.文章对其开展了详细的流体包裹体岩相学、显微测温和氢、氧同位素地球化学研究,结果表明热液石英脉中流体包裹体以含CO2包裹体最多,其次为液体包裹体,含子矿物包裹体很少见,属于H2O-CO2-NaCl体系.均一温度范围广,介于260~440℃,集中在300~380℃;成矿流体w(NaCleq)较低,大多介于4%~12%;CO2摩尔分数[x(CO2)]为0.043%~0.595%,集中于0~0.2%.CO2相密度约0.74~0.84 g/cm3,H2O相密度1.02~1.10 g/cm3;成矿时流体压力为80~160MPa.流体演化经历成矿前期、成矿期和成矿后期3个期次,各期次流体演化趋势不同,整体上流体从成矿前期到成矿后期均一温度和盐度逐渐降低.流体包裹体氢、氧同位素组成表明,钨锡主成矿期流体以岩浆水为主,到后期硫化物矿化阶段又混合有大气降水.  相似文献

大坪金矿成矿可分为三个成矿阶段:早期成矿阶段(白钨矿石英脉)、主成矿阶段(团块状多金属硫化物含金石英脉)和晚成矿阶段(碳酸盐石英脉)。本文利用显微测温和拉曼光谱分析了大坪矿脉的流体包裹体特征,结果表明:流体包裹体基本由富液相CO2包裹体和不同CO2/H2O比例的CO2-H2O型包裹体组成,早阶段白钨矿石英脉中同时富含富气相CO2包裹体,主成矿阶段团块状多金属硫化物金矿石中富液相CO2包裹体占明显优势,只有晚成矿阶段碳酸盐石英脉中含有居次要地位的H2O溶液包裹体。流体包裹体中气相组成基本为纯CO2,早阶段者还含少量N2。早阶段CO2-H2O型包裹体的盐度为6.37%-14.64%NaCl,峰值9%-10.5%NaCl,均一温度为299.4-423.7℃,峰值320-380℃,CO2包裹体密度为0.352-0.798g/cm^3,多数在0.64-0.71g/cm^3;主成矿阶段的CO2-H2O型包裹体的盐度在3.70%-14.64%NaCl之间,峰值7.2%-9.0%NaCl,均一温度279.0-406.5℃之间,峰值320-360℃,CO2包裹体密度为0.591-0.843g/cm^3,多数大于0.8g/cm^3;晚成矿阶段CO2-H2O型包裹体的盐度为4.80%-6.54%NaCl,均一温度为287.6-337.1℃。计算表明早阶段成矿压力约为190-440MPa,主阶段成矿压力约为133.5-340.0MPa,相当的成矿深度为5.1-12.9km。这些特征揭示了该矿成矿流体为近临界的高CO2(CO2≥H2O)的中低盐度的CO2-H2O-NaCl体系流体,在成矿过程中基本不存在流体混合,但发生了明显的沸腾和相分离作用。该矿是剪切带控制下的中深中温热液金矿,成矿作用主要是减压沸腾环境下的快速沉淀。结合其它证据,作者认为该矿的成矿流体主体为深源的壳幔混合流体,而不是地壳浅部的大气降水、岩浆水或其混合流体。金在高CO2的成矿流体中可能主要以硫氢络合物形式迁移,矿质沉淀主要与压力速降条件下发生流体的相分离作用相关。  相似文献

广西大厂锡多金属矿田是世界著名的锡矿产地之一。矿田内绝大部分锡锌资源量分布在西成矿带的高峰和长坡-铜坑两个矿床之中,其中赋存在中泥盆统生物礁灰岩中的高峰100号体以其品位高(Sn 1. 79%、Zn 10. 1%、Pb 5. 21%、Sb4. 8%、Ag 235g/t)、规模大(矿石量超过1300万吨)而在整个大厂矿田中占据非常重要的地位。本文在扫描电镜-阴极发光(SEM-CL)图像分析的基础上,对高峰锡多金属矿床成矿早期锡石-毒砂-磁黄铁矿阶段和成矿晚期硫化物-硫盐-碳酸盐阶段的流体包裹体岩相学、显微测温学及其气相成分的激光Raman光谱进行了系统研究。结果表明,成矿早期锡石-毒砂-磁黄铁矿阶段石英和锡石中主要发育富含CO2和CH4气相流体包裹体,其均一温度和盐度分别为360~410℃和3%~6%Na Cleqv;成矿晚期硫化物-硫盐-碳酸盐阶段石英中则仅发育气-液两相盐水流体包裹体,具有相对低的均一温度(270~310℃)和盐度(3%~6%Na Cleqv)。石英和锡石的H-O同位素组成指示成矿流体主要来源于岩浆热液。对比矿田内其他矿床,进一步发现高峰矿床富CO2气相流体的盐度(3%~6%Na Cleqv)与拉么矽卡岩型Zn-Cu矿床富CO2气相流体的盐度(7%~9%Na Cleqv)相近,认为高峰矿床与拉么矿床可能具有相同的成矿流体来源,两者均来源于深部岩浆房中分异出的超临界流体。高峰矿床成矿流体可能主要来源于深部矽卡岩阶段富CO2气相流体的压缩和冷却(vapor contraction and cooling)。流体冷却过程可能是锡石-硫化物成矿的主要控制因素。高峰矿床-200m中段以上矿体,锡石和石英中的流体包裹体以富CO2和CH4气相流体包裹体为主,而缺失多子晶流体包裹体组合,推测高峰矿床-200m中段以下可能存在富含成矿金属的高密度卤水,从而形成高品位的锡多金属脉状矿体或矽卡岩型Zn-Cu矿体。  相似文献

大兴安岭锡矿带是中国北方唯一成型的锡多金属成矿带。新近发现的内蒙古维拉斯托锡多金属矿床位于大兴安岭南段,隶属中亚造山带东段的兴蒙造山带。该矿床为一典型的大型斑岩型热液脉型锡多金属矿床,矿区内锡矿化主要赋存于石英斑岩体顶部及其上部的石英脉中。矿床成矿阶段包括石英斑岩体内的滴状锡锌矿化阶段、石英斑岩体上部石英脉中的辉钼矿矿化阶段、石英锡石黑钨矿阶段和石英多金属硫化物阶段。流体包裹体研究结果显示:流体包裹体类型主要为气液两相包裹体,尤其是富液相包裹体,其次为含子矿物的三相包裹体。斑岩体内矿化阶段流体包裹体均一温度为324~333 ℃,盐度为6.5%~7.5% NaCleqv,密度为0.73~0.74 g/cm3;石英脉型矿化阶段包裹体均一温度为201~324 ℃,盐度为3.4%~9.9% NaCleqv,密度为0.73~0.92 g/cm3。包裹体显微测温分析结果显示该矿区成矿流体具有中高温、低盐度、中密度的特征。激光拉曼光谱分析表明,气液两相包裹体液相成分主要为H2O,气相成分主要有H2O、CO2和CH4。氢氧同位素研究结果表明该矿床石英斑岩体上部石英脉矿化阶段的成矿流体为岩浆水和大气降水混合来源,以岩浆水为主。岩浆流体与大气降水的混合以及流体演化中的降温过程是该矿床矿石沉淀的主要机制。  相似文献

Komatiites are mantle-derived ultramafic volcanic rocks. Komatiites have been discovered in several States of India, notably in Karnataka. Studies on the distribution of trace-elements in the komatiites of India are very few. This paper proposes a simple, accurate, precise, rapid, and non-destructive wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometric technique for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in komatiites, and discusses the accuracy, precision, limits of detection, x-ray spectral-line interferences, inter-element effects, speed, advantages, and limitations of the technique. The accuracy of the technique is excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th and very good (within 4%) for Y. The precision is also excellent (within 3%) for Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th. The limits of detection are: 1 ppm for Sc and V; 2 ppm for Cr, Co, and Ni; 3 ppm for Cu, Zn, Rb, and Sr; 4 ppm for Y and Zr; 6 ppm for Nb; 10 ppm for Ba; 13 ppm for Pb; and 14 ppm for Th. The time taken for determining Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Ba, Pb, and Th in a batch of 24 samples of komatiites, for a replication of four analyses per sample, by one operator, using a manual WDXRF spectrometer, is only 60 hours.  相似文献

最新的流行病学研究表明,空气中较高浓度的悬浮细颗粒可能对人类的健康有不利的影响。根据该项研究显示,由于心脏病、慢性呼吸问题和肺功能指标恶化而导致死亡率的升高与细尘粒子有关。这些研究结果已经促使欧盟于1999年4月出台了限制空气中二氧化硫、二氧化氮、氧化氮、铅和颗粒物含量的法案(1999/30/EC),对各项指标包括对可吸入PM10颗粒的浓度提出了新的限制性指标。PM10颗粒是指可以通过预分级器分离采集的气体动力学直径小于10μm的细颗粒。目前研究的兴趣重点逐步偏向PM2.5这些更细微颗粒物,PM2.5这种颗粒物对健康有明显的不利影响。在欧盟指令2008/50/EC中,对PM10和PM2.5都提  相似文献

This paper reports the first results of a study of 11 isotope systems (3He/4He, 40Ar/36Ar, 34S/32S, 65Cu/63Cu, 62Ni/60Ni, 87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd, 206–208Pb/204Pb, Hf–Nd, U–Pb, and Re–Os) in the rocks and ores of the Cu–Ni–PGE deposits of the Norilsk ore district. Almost all the results were obtained at the Center of Isotopic Research of the Karpinskii All-Russia Research Institute of Geology. The use of a number of independent genetic isotopic signatures and comprehensive isotopic knowledge provided a methodic basis for the interpretation of approximately 5000 isotopic analyses of various elements. The presence of materials from two sources, crust and mantle, was detected in the composition of the rocks and ores. The contribution of the crustal source is especially significant in the paleofluids (gas–liquid microinclusions) of the ore-forming medium. Crustal solutions were probably a transport medium during ore formation. Air argon is dominant in the ores, which indicates a connection between the paleofluids and the atmosphere. This suggests intense groundwater circulation during the crystallization of ore minerals. The age of the rocks and ores of the Norilsk deposits was determined. The stage of orebody formation is restricted to a narrow age interval of 250 ± 10 Ma. An isotopic criterion was proposed for the ore-bearing potential of mafic intrusions in the Norilsk–Taimyr region. It includes several interrelated isotopic ratios of various elements: He, Ar, S, and others.  相似文献

Mining induced subsidence can significantly affect mining costs where major surface facilities and natural environment need to be protected. Overburden grout injection is a technology used to control coal mine subsidence by injecting the mine waste material extracted from the coal back into the inter-burden rock during longwall mining. The flowing slurry is here categorised as a nonlinear viscous cohesive (Bingham plastic) fluid. During longwall mining the grout slurry is pumped into the separated beds of the rock mass through a central vertical borehole, which is drilled deep into the inter-burden rock strata above the coal seam. However, a blockage can occur in the injection system when the slurry velocity falls below a certain critical threshold velocity, indicating a material phase change from cohesive-viscous to cohesive-frictional. In situ field injection tests through boreholes have been simulated at a smaller scale at the CSIRO laboratory in Brisbane by pumping the slurry through a radial disk (gap = 4 mm) from its centre. Laboratory experiments indicate a general, nonlinear, cohesive, viscous, frictional model for shear behaviour of the slurry, in which the material shear parameters are functions of the disk radial distance. Complete dimensional and dimensionless analytical solutions have been developed based on an approach related to Bingham–Herschel–Bulkley fluid mechanics. The derived formulae include relations for minimum pump pressure, local pressure and pressure gradient, wall shear stress, volume rate, velocity and velocity gradient. The theoretical results match the experimental measurements. The experiments covered slurries with maximum particle sizes of 0.5 to 2 mm with about 50% being larger than 100 µm. The viscosities at the various solids concentrations were measured with a standard torsion viscometer. This study differs from the previous research in several distinct aspects, namely, consideration of the variable shear parameters rather than fixed values, inclusion of total nonlinear behaviour, and implementation of a friction function to mimic behaviour of the deposited and consolidating stiff slurry, which can cause a significant pressure rise as a result of the increased shear resistance.  相似文献

岩石密度和超高压岩石折返速率   总被引:1,自引:3,他引:1  
在常温常压条件下对中国大陆科学钻CCSD主孔100-3000米岩心样品进行了密度测量,建立了密度连续剖面,并界定了不同超高压岩石的密度值。通过对比高温高压物性实验资料,岩石密度随着退变程度增强而降低,榴辉岩密度变化序列为3.52g/cm3→3.49g/cm3→3.07g/cm3→2.93g/cm3。超高压长英质岩石密度变化序列为3.00g/cm→2.80g/cm3→2.65g/cm3。上述实验资料是讨论不同折返阶段岩石所受浮力的基础,为研究折返速率大小提供了基本参数。本文通过折返板块运动平衡时,上浮力与粘滞力平衡这一关系式,定量研究了大陆俯冲板块的折返速率,认为密度差产生上浮力从而引起折返,温度对板块折返速率的影响最为显著;密度差大小、折返角度、折返板块大小对折返速率也有直接的影响。定量模拟分析表明,在温度高于850℃时,板块的折返速率可以超过100mm/a;当温度降至700℃时,折返速率则低于1.5mm/a。作者认为在折返早期,温度较高,板块快速折返至60-70km榴辉岩相深度;随着传导散热,温度降低,板块以较慢的速率折返至中下地壳。折返速率的估算表明,浮力是板块折返第一阶段(从>100km深部折返至<40km的中下地壳)的主要驱动力。  相似文献

The Kuskokwim River at Bethel, Alaska, drains a major mercury-antimony metallogenic province in its upper reaches and tributaries. Bethel (population 4000) is situated on the Kuskokwim floodplain and also draws its water supply from wells located in river-deposited sediment. A boring through overbank and floodplain sediment has provided material to establish a baseline datum for sediment-hosted heavy metals. Mercury (total), arsenic, antimony, and selenium contents were determined; aluminum was also determined and used as normalizing factor. The contents of the heavy metals were relatively constant with depth and do not reflect any potential enrichment from upstream contaminant sources.  相似文献

Bellechester, Minnesota, is a small community of approximately 155 residents located on the county line between Goodhue and Wabasha counties in southeast Minnesota's karst region. Bellechester is served by a 21-year-old wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) consisting of three waste-stabilization ponds. On 28 April 1992 six sinkholes were discovered to have drained cell 2 of the WWTF resulting in the loss of approximately 8.7×106 1 of partially treated effluent and about 600 m3 of soil into previously undetected subsurface voids of unknown dimensions. In the week following the collapse, approximately 200 water wells located within a 5-km radius of the WWTF were sampled in an after-the-fact, emergency sampling program. Twelve samples with elevated fecal coliform levels, 18 samples with nitrate-nitrogen greater than the 10 mg/1 standard, and no samples with elevated chlorides were found. However, the elevated levels could not be unambiguously attributed to the WWTF collapse. This is the third WWTF to fail by sinkhole collapse in southeast Minnesota since 1974. All three collapsed lagoons have been located in similar geomorphic and stratigraphic settings. However, at least two lagoons have collapsed in the adjacent area in northeast Iowa, and these lagoons are located at different stratigraphic positions. Twenty-two WWTFs constructed in southeast Minnesota's karst region in the last 25 years have been identified as subject to potential sinkhole collapse. An unknown but significant number of manure storage lagoons, flood control structures, etc., have also been constructed in the karst region and are at risk. Public agencies are beginning to develop plans to deal with the risk associated with existing and future waste lagoons in this environment. The critical hydrogeologic parameters that can be used to prioritize the risk of collapse at existing facilities include: (1) the lithology of the first bedrock beneath each lagoon, (2) the thickness of surficial materials between the lagoon and the bedrock surface, (3) the presence and construction of liners (seepage rate), and (4) the proximity to existing sinkholes.  相似文献
